When you ask for a film.fun invite with your email address, a person on our team reviews the request. Here is what happens from the moment you send it until you can sign up.
1. You request an invite
Enter your email address, and if you like, your name, a few words about what you make, and a link to your work. You see the same confirmation whether this is your first request or you have asked before.
2. We email you a status link
A few minutes later you get an email titled We got your film.fun invite request. Its Check my request status button opens your personal status page.
- The link is personal to your email address, so don't share it.
- It works for 30 days.
- If you lose it or it expires, request an invite again with the same email address to get a fresh link. We send at most one of these emails every 10 minutes.
3. Check your status any time
Your status page shows where your request stands:
- In the queue — we haven't reviewed it yet. You can see when you asked and your place in the queue.
- On the waitlist — we have reviewed it. We'll email you if you're approved; otherwise, check back here anytime for updates.
- Approved — you're in, and the page has a Create your account button.
- Not offered this time — we couldn't offer an invite on this occasion. The free Academy courses are still open to you.
4. You get an approval email
When we approve your request, we email you You're in: your film.fun invite is approved. It contains:
- Your invite code, which looks like FF-ABC234. It works once and expires 30 days after approval.
- A Create your account button. It carries your invite code, so there is nothing to type. Follow it and sign up with the same email address.
- A fresh link to your status page, valid for another 30 days.
We send the approval email once. If you can't find it, check your spam or promotions folder, then open your status page from the first email: once you're approved, it has a Create your account button too.
Troubleshooting
- My status link says it has expired. Request an invite again with the same email address, and we'll email you a new link.
- My status link says it's invalid. Open it straight from the email. If you copy it, copy the whole link: everything after the # is part of it.
- My invite code doesn't work. Each code works once and expires 30 days after approval. You can still create an account from your status page.
